I am a South African explorer using your couch as a pit stop. I study Linguistics, South African Sign Language and Zulu. I am eager to learn about your cultures and the places you live in. I also have a killer playlist of South African music that you have probably never heard that I would be willing to share.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To learn about people and where they are from and hopefully have some well deserved sleep.
